If you were to perform a quick Google search for 'Mallorca Directory' you will find several fine listings, all dedicated solely, to this Mediterranean, resort island paradise. But, "What is a Mallorca Directory? and why would I want to use one?". A directory, is very similar to an old fashioned yellow pages, it is a source of information about all kinds of local businesses.

In a directory, you will find listings for every kind of professional service, and retailers of every kind of goods imaginable. There will be listings for all the most popular services such as estate agents, restaurants, car hire, doctors offices, hotels, apartment and villa rentals and so on. In addition you will find more obscure listings for services that may be difficult to locate by other means. Examples of these services could be a paintball arena, a refexologist, alcoholics anonymous or the local IT Park.

Another advantage that a Mallorca directory has over a traditional yellow pages listing is that they are often in English, or Spanish and English, where as in many areas the telephone company's yellow pages is only available in Spanish.

An English language directory will also probably also be aimed at the local expat community and foreign holidaymakers, rather than at the local Spanish clientele. As it would be centered on foreigners, not locals, you will find lots of services that may only be of interest to non-Spanish people, such as English language schools, British themed pubs and restaurants, and services such as builders, and plumbers who are English speaking.

You will find that many businesses owned by foreign nationals, in particular British owned company's, may not advertise at all in the local telephone directory. Instead, they depend on a Mallorca directory for their advertising needs. The reasons for this are quit simple. As opposed to the traditional, paper, telephone directory, potential clients can view their listing and services before they even arrive in Spain, the listing is in English, which is obviously a help if the client has no, or little, Spanish language skills.

An English language Mallorca directory is aimed at the very clients they are looking for English speaking visitors to the island and English speaking local residents. Many of these people may not be British, but as the other main European language, spoken in Spain, most Europeans have at least a basic understanding of English. With many people, such as the Dutch, and Scandinavians generally having an excellent understanding of English.
